About This Tour in Manila

This is a PRIVATE & EXCLUSIVE TOUR from Manila. Start with hotel pickup in Manila and head to Tagaytay, stopping at Tagaytay Picnic Grove, 665 meters above sea level. Enjoy stunning views of Taal Volcano rising from the lake and capture the perfect photo with your driver’s help. Learn about the 2020 eruption, which sent ash as far as Metro Manila, and why Taal is one of the country’s most active volcanoes. Next, head to Pagsanjan Falls for an exhilarating river adventure. Board a traditional canoe with two skilled local guides who will expertly navigate the rapids through lush jungle and towering cliffs. Swim to a cave behind the waterfall, and enjoy the thrilling “roller coaster” ride back down the river’s rapids. Tipping to your paddlers is optional but expected. End your day with a delicious lunch (at your own expense) at the oldest restaurant in town, reflecting on your unforgettable adventure through two of the Philippines' most iconic natural wonders.
